I do sometimes look back at things I've written in the past, and think, 'I just don't remember being the person who wrote that.'
Brian Eno
Image
Perhaps when music has been shouting for so long, a quieter voice seems attractive.
Brian Eno
Image
Don't be ashamed of your own ideas. Most musicians get applauded for sounding like someone else.
Brian Eno
Image
The idea that something is uncool because it’s old or foreign has left the collective consciousness.
Brian Eno
Image
I'm very good with technology, I always have been, and with machines in general. They seem not threatening like other people find them, but a source of fun and amusement.
Brian Eno
Image
I'm very opinionated.
Brian Eno
Image
I'm fascinated by musicians who don't completely understand their territory that's when you do your best work.
Brian Eno
Image
Something I’ve realized lately, to my shock, is that I am an optimist, in that I think humans are almost infinitely capable of self-change and self-modification, and that we really can build the future that we want if we’re smart about it.
Brian Eno
Image
Everybody thinks that when new technologies come along that they're transparent and you can just do your job well on it. But technologies always import a whole new set of values with them.
Brian Eno
Image
Rationality is what we do to organize the world, to make it possible to predict. Art is the rehearsal for the inapplicability and failure of that process.
Brian Eno
Image
Songs that don't depend on composition depend instead on performance - so the fire has to be there in the playing.
Brian Eno
Image
Listening to something is an act of surrender.
Brian Eno
Image
I've never used a PC in my life I don't like them.
Brian Eno
Image
The point about melody and beat and lyric is that they exist to engage you in a very particular way. They want to occupy your attention.
Brian Eno
Image
You feel as if you're not living a full life. Which, of course, is why - it's my theory about why so many people who are heavily into computers are also into extreme sports and S&M. It's because their bodies are crying out for some kind of action.
Brian Eno
Image
I'm kind of an evangelical atheist.
Brian Eno
Image
One of the things you're doing when you make art, apart from entertaining yourself and other people, is trying to see what ways of working feel good, what feels right.
Brian Eno
Image
I have a definite talent for convincing people to try something new. I am a good salesman. When I'm on form, I can sell anything.
Brian Eno
Image
If something is good, you must torture it mercilessly until it is either dead or great.
Brian Eno
Image
For me it's always contingent on getting a sound-the sound always suggests what kind of melody it should be. So it's always sound first and then the line afterwards.
